The Lions had some big fella busts, but the Pumas played a faster game with plenty of players turning up to cover both sides. Very fit.

WA should stick to being a third string AFL state as those in WA can't come up with their own original sport and everything else. Nothing is original in WA beyond isolation

Jasin Gold Member Online Posts: 52775 Gender:	Re: Rugby Union Reply #6 - Yesterday at 8:54pm Lions playing well. Wallabies just not physically strong enough, never have been for over a few decades. Boks and NZ just run through em. Wallabies get a good bonus then cough it up. Good interesting game so far.

Jasin Gold Member Online Posts: 52775 Gender:	Re: Rugby Union Reply #10 - Yesterday at 10:00pm They played better 2nd half. Good game. Good to see Wallaby forwards try to break the line in 2nd half rather than just go to ground without much gain as they've been doing since boofhead Hooper was made captain. Glad he's gone.

I couldn't understand many of the Ref decisions and
the Channel 9 team didn't seem to know either.
The rules are too complicated.

Also:
How come someone can put their hands in a ruck and pull the ball out?

Why should you let the ball go if you are tackled and one foot from the score line?
